Elan's Thoughts: Peril
Spooktober 2025 part 1 of 13
It's 2068 Volcanic Era, the month of Chiaki, 6th day. I'm Elan Straibala, here at the Eddy documenting the Water Seekers. To that end, I have been interviewing the former Wringers. Today it's Voia's turn--and he brought Istlourn with him. Seeker Voia, Seeker Istlourn, it's an honor to speak with you both.

It really isn't.
He means "thank you".
I don't.
I do. I thank you for being willing to talk to us.
At your own peril.
Peril? Why peril? Because he was a Wringer? But he's not one now. Is he being sarcastic or serious?
Stop it. She knows better than that.
Can't be serious, Uncle Nkeba wouldn't let me do these inteviews if they were dangerous. But Istlourn isn't acting like he's making a joke. Maybe he's just trying to hint that he'd rather not be here?
Seeker Istlourn, if you really don't want to be interviewed, I won't insist.
He will.
Well, yes. I did promise that if he didn't come, I'd talk only about him.
No wonder he's grumpy! I would be too.
That's unfair.
Unfair? Unfair is that Istlourn ended up the face and name of the Wringers. There's a whole ten of us here, but he's the one who gets all the hate, all the threats-
Did all the work.
Furl it. You did not. And he's never been given a fair opportunity to speak up.
And say what?
...Should I say something? Would a lighthearted interruption go over well?
